Overlooking the Cretan Sea, this impressive villa sits in a quiet spot in the traditional village of Gerani. If hiking or cycling’s your thing, you’re in the right place with a variety of picturesque routes in the surrounding area, while those seeking the hustle and bustle of Crete’s most popular towns can jump in the car and drive to Rethymnon for the day. The outdoor space here is extensive, with everything you need for a relaxing retreat. You’ll find a private swimming pool, hot tub, fire pit and alfresco dining areas, all of which offer spectacular coastal views. Why not speak to your host about hiring a chef for the evening to make the most of it?


Home truths:
*For those with reduced mobility, there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the ground floor.
*There's free private parking available here, with space for four cars. While the beach and village centre are within walking distance, you may need to rent a car if you'd like to explore further afield.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and play pen for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*Well-behaved dogs are welcome to accompany you during your stay. Check with your host to see if any breed or size restrictions apply.
*At full capacity, one guest will be sleeping on sofa bed in the master bedroom. We think this would be best suited to a child.
